Why Tilehurst Roofing Sacramento Is University of California Davis’s Preferred Roofing Company

We came to University of California Davis because the housing stock here is older than most people realize, and older roofs need a Roofing Company that understands tear-offs, not just overlays. Homeowners in Old East Davis, Wildhorse, and the Sycamore Lane area deal with the same things: baked composition shingles from the 60s and 70s, pine needles against the eaves, and original plywood decking that’s beginning to soften. When a roofer doesn’t know Davis, they quote a quick patch and leave the rot underneath. Our crews see it, document it, and price it in writing before we touch it.

We answer live, 24 hours a day. Not a voicemail box or a callback queue. When you call about a leak near the UC Davis campus or a missing shingle after a winter storm, a person picks up and starts your file. Greg Holloway and his team know University of California Davis well enough to give you a real time window for arrival, and we keep it. Every repair carries a written guarantee delivered before the crew leaves. If it fails inside the guarantee period, we come back at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Metal Roof Installation in University of California Davis

Metal roof installation in University of California Davis is a growing choice for homeowners on the west side and around Mace Ranch who want to stop replacing shingles every 15 to 20 years while the Central Valley sun does its worst. A standing seam metal roof for a typical 1,800-square-foot Davis home runs $22,000 to $38,000 depending on the roof’s pitch, the number of penetrations, and whether the old roof is torn off or left in place where code allows. It’s a bigger check up front, but the material reflects heat better than asphalt and laughs at the UV that cracks composition shingles by year 12.

Why Metal Makes Sense in This Climate

Davis summers push roof surface temperatures past 160 degrees on dark asphalt shingles. Metal, especially the lighter colors, stays far cooler and lowers the heat load on the attic. We install hidden- and exposed-fastener metal systems from manufacturers like Boral and CertainTeed, and we cut and seam panels on site to fit the odd angles on those 1960s split-levels.

What a Metal Job Here Involves

We start by inspecting the existing decking, because many older Davis homes have plywood that wouldn’t pass a screw-pull test once the shingles come off. Then we lay a high-temperature underlayment rated for metal, install drip edge and eave trim, and fasten panels per manufacturer spec. You get a written scope and a fixed price before any material is ordered.

Residential Roofing in University of California Davis

Residential roofing in University of California Davis is not one type of job. It spans the original composition shingle roofs of the east side ranches and split-levels, the newer architectural shingle homes in West Davis built under tighter energy codes, and the occasional flat roof on a custom mid-century. Most full asphalt shingle replacements in University of California Davis run $11,000 to $18,000 depending on size, pitch, decking condition, and the shingle line you choose. A repair usually falls between $450 and $1,100, though that climbs when we find the hidden decking rot our Old East Davis jobs so often reveal.

Built for Davis, Not a Template

Roofing in University of California Davis means working on a mix of aging 1960s-70s tract homes on the east side and newer, tightly-sealed construction in west Davis, while also handling the flat roofs of on-campus agricultural and research buildings that must meet stringent UC seismic and fire codes. That’s not a one-size-fits-all trade here, and our crews are comfortable cutting through all three worlds. We order from seven major manufacturers so the product matches the home: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral.

The Right Layers Under the Shingles

On residential roof replacement in University of California Davis, the visible shingle is only half the story. The underlayment, drip edge, valley metal, and ridge vent are what keep water out and let heat escape. We don’t reuse failing felt when it’s past its life, and we don’t skip the ice and water shield where it belongs. On an older Davis roof, that one layer is often the difference between a 20-year roof and a callback in March.

Trusted Brands We Service in University of California Davis

We work with Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed most often for University of California Davis homes because their architectural lines hold up to Central Valley UV and their warranties are easy to document. That said, we stock multiple Boral profiles for customers who want tile, and we can order IKO, Atlas, or Tamko within days if a specific color or warranty term matters to you. Since our Sacramento supply chain serves University of California Davis regularly, we don’t make you wait weeks on a special order for a common shingle color or underlayment. And we write the material warranty terms into your contract so you see exactly who covers what and for how long.

Common Roofing Problems We See in University of California Davis Homes

• Hidden decking rot along the eaves. Along the tree-lined streets of Old East Davis, roofers constantly battle pine needles and leaf debris that clog gutters and trap moisture against the eaves, accelerating rot on the many original 1960s homes. We’ve opened roofs where the shingles looked tired but serviceable and found the rafter tails gone soft.
• Premature shingle cracking and granule loss. Davis’s Central Valley climate brings scorching, dry summers with intense UV exposure that bakes and cracks asphalt shingles prematurely, while winter’s occasional heavy downpours test the aged flashing and valleys on older roofs. Homeowners here often replace roofs at year 15 that would last 25 in a coastal microclimate.
• Code-triggered upgrades skipped by other bidders. A permit-triggered tear-off on a 1960s Davis home requires code-compliant drip edge, underlayment at valleys, and ventilation. Some low bidders leave those out to keep the number low, which is why our estimates list them as line items instead of burying them in a change order later.
• Flat roof failures on agricultural and research buildings. On-campus and university-adjacent structures with low-slope or flat roofs face different problems than pitched residential roofs, especially where modified bitumen or single-ply membranes have outlived their seams. Those jobs need roofers who understand UC seismic and fire code requirements, not a crew that only grew up on shingles.
